Live Al Ahly vs Sewe Sport | FINAL MATCH
Match Info: Venue Cairo Stadium | Date & Time: 6 Dec 2014 – 18:00 (Cairo Time)
Juan Carlos Garrido hopes to create history on Saturday by becoming the first Spanish coach to win a Confederation of African Football title.
The 45-year-old former Real Betis and Villarreal manager guides Egyptians Al Ahly, who trail Ivorians Sewe Sport 2-1 after the first leg of the Confederation Cup final.
Ahly have home advantage in the return match and a 1-0 win will give the Cairo Red Devils overall victory on the away-goal rule and a $660,000 prize in the second-tier African competition.
It would be Ahly ‘s record-extending 19th Caf title – although it would be their first Confederation Cup – against rivals playing in their first African final.
Ismaily went the closest when they reached the final in 2000 before losing to Algeria’s JS Kabylie, giving Ahly an extra incentive to lift the trophy.
On paper, Ahly were firm favourites to beat minnows Sewe Sport but they had a largely disappointing night in Abidjan last week, with an error-ridden display giving the hosts a 2-1 first-leg advantage.
